We wouldn't see that specific chunk of money back, ever.
That money, our federal deficit interest payments, are needed to shore up Social Security. If we don't, Social Security is in danger of completely collapsing. We are currently on a course towards national bankruptcy.

This country does depend on social security, without it millions would sink into poverty. And as the baby boomers start retiring, it will become more and more important to shore up.
